Thanos Slays In Lemire And Deodato’s ‘Thanos’ #1, Because That’s His Deal [Preview]

Thanos, Mad God of Titan and the guy who loves Death more than anybody, is getting back to what he does best in Thanos #1, by Jeff Lemire and Mike Deodato, and what he does best is kill people in huge numbers.

When I say people, I'm including aliens of course. Thanos doesn't care what species you are; he's always going to like Death way more than he likes you. In this unlettered preview, we see Thanos apparently wiping out a whole army on an unknown planet. We don't know exactly why, but we know it's Thanos so he barely needs a reason.

We also see his brother, former AvengerStarfox, imploring the Champion of the Universe about something, presumably to help him stop whatever Thanos' current plan is. Deodato draws a great Thanos, and Lemire seems like an excellent choice to write him, so this book is probably worth a look.

He is the greatest evil the universe has ever known. An unstoppable force whose name is whispered in hushed tones across the galaxy. Feared from one end of the cosmos to the other, he’s returned to take back what is rightfully his! Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look inside THANOS #1 – the new ongoing series from all-star creators Jeff Lemire (Moon Knight, Death of X) and Mike Deodato (Avengers, Invincible Iron Man)! Venture into the dark depths of one of Marvel’s most vile villains as he enacts vengeance on all who would stand in his way. In his absence, Thanos’ grip on the cosmos has loosened. As he returns to the stars to terrorize the galaxy once more, reborn and reinvigorated – are there any that can stop him? Many will try, including members of his own family – Thane, Starfox and many others. Will they succeed where others have failed?
